The WMA indoor champs wrapped up today in Kamloops. In their press release the organizers singled out three women for their outstanding performances:
Olga Kotelko of West Vancouver, B.C., finished her week with 10 gold medals and eight world records in the women’s 90 age group. On Saturday, Kotelko chose not to compete in the 400m Dash. Instead, she concentrated on the 4×200m relay — which she and teammates Louise Sorensen, Hildegaard Buschhaus and Leona Smith won in a newly established world-record time of 4:15.33.
Phil Raschker led the American team with seven gold, two silver and one bronze in the W60 age group. She capped her week Saturday with a championship run in the 400m, crossing the line in 75.60. Then, she joined Joan McMullan, Mary Trotto and Brenda Matthews in winning bronze in the 4×200m relay in a time of 2:19.67.
Marie Kay of Australia finished with five gold medals in the W50, the last one coming Saturday when she won the 400m in a time of 62.96.
